Users of Tranxition’s Windows 10 Profile Migration Tool will be pleased with our announcement of the release of Tranxition Migration Manager 10.21. Designed for Windows 10 User Migration, It’s available from the download link on the website. This minor upgrade to our Windows 10 Profile software includes:

Re-engineered support for Windows domain changes within a PC. Changes to Microsoft API sets have enabled us to rewrite our code for this operation. The results seem to be working well and handling more user cases than the older one.

Improved Microsoft Outlook support. Our support for Microsoft Outlook is among the best in the industry. We took a fresh look at some unusual situations and buffed up areas to make it even better.

Improved support for very long path filenames.

Current users with a maintenance agreement can download the new release and drop in their license key.

Prospective users can download the version on the website and start a 30-day full powered evaluation. You won’t regret it for a minute.

Tranxition has seen a large increase in customer wins. made steady progress competing against other solutions. In the last three side-by-side customer tests, Tranxition either won the competition outright, or pushed an existing competitor solution out of the customer. One recent evaluation by a manufacturer proved that their use of a competitor over more than three years produced no financial benefit. PC migration projects are too important to be architected with solutions that can’t deliver.

Test in Europe

Another recent test in Europe showed that Tranxition delivers unmatched price, performance, and reliability. We estimate that our solution wins 90% of the comparisons. When you transfer a Windows user profile, you want to make sure that the resulting system is not going to make problems for the end user.

Blazing Speed

The other key component of user persona migration is speed. Tranxition is by far the fastest we’ve seen with respect to the time it takes from start to finish. One of our editors recently tried to look at one of the competing solutions and it crashed when run with the default settings.

Migrate Apps? Really?

PC migration competitors promote “migrating applications. They know customers want to move applications if they can. The problem is that this results in migrations sometimes lasting over a day. Additionally, risk managers at large firms don’t want to move applications because they don’t know if all the applications are properly licensed. The only way to migrate is to install corporate suites via image, and let the users download approved applications on their own from the company repository.

Evaluate the Leader

For over a decade companies around the world have appreciated the ease of adoption, use, and results of migration manager. If you are planning for a better end result. You need this product now.

A global insurance carrier began testing Migration Manager in 2017. That firm has many offices around the world, each with their own IT teams. The firm used a “free” tool from called USMT and they said they were unhappy with the extra work it created. There were many reported help desk tickets and the IT teams dreaded the approach of a new batch of migrations.

After their initial testing, the team spearheading the evaluation reached out to Tranxition. Professional Services then met with the client and answered questions about implementation, control, security, subtle features, and the types of settings that can be reliably migrated.

Soon, another conference was scheduled with the global team responsible for end point management. Those technical experts asked many questions about implementation, automation, and configuration of the tool, while describing the many headaches they had with the current process.

A decision was taken to purchase and deploy Migration Manager. After a year of use, the customer reports that there have only been three significant incidents where tickets were generated after rollout. Those issues had to do with certain computers having extra long file paths as a result of their partially using Microsoft OneDrive. Tranxition engineering implemented a series of changes to ensure that Migration Manager would handle these extremely long paths.

The customer also requested support for Microsoft Word Building Blocks, a feature that enables the creation of complex documents from text boilerplate as required by insurance firms. Tranxition implemented this on their behalf without charge.

The customer reported: “We love the product. It goes out and finds all the user documents regardless of where they are stored. My users love the fact that they get their personas transferred. We use it for break/fix, laptops, and new devices. I don’t have exact numbers, but one of my guys said it saves him over an hour each time he uses it.”

Instead of a broken process, the firm now has a single, reliable, endpoint deployment process based on Migration Manager that returns the user to work in 1/5th the time required by other solutions. The number of technician hours required for deployment is almost nil, saving up to 2.5 hours per device.

The team lead said: “We recommend Tranxition and its products to other customers. The company has been very responsive.”
